Blowing stuff up may not be a great option as that could create a lot of space debris, which is bad. But I wonder whether a simple change of the dimensions of objects would do it, where this is possible, e.g. the batteries. More surface area/volume or better aerodynamics (less brick-like) the more chance it has of burning up, I imagine.Comment

Why didn't they get the space shuttle to bring it home on it's last trip? Too big for the cargo bay?

They should have coated it in something highly flammable to encourage burn up, like a giant fat ball.
Alternatively they could have put a big electromagnet in it, and turned it on to collect some space debris on the way down.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

Additional charges should be deployed on the bigger structures to ensure they were reduced to a 'burnable' size.Comment
